Bhuna Chicken

Bhuna Chicken is the famous Indian chicken dish cooked in tomato based gravy with fresh fragrance of ginger, garlic and masala. This gets its name because the spices are fried long enough.

Whilst the process is divided into two parts, it is still a very easy to cook and less cumbersome. I always propagate to marinade non-vegetarian dishes, as it lets the spices permeate into the chicken/ lamb, etc. to offer an enhanced flavour. In this recipe I have followed the same, however one may choose to marinate for less duration or not do it at all.
